Im not happy about this either but on the whole, having a 320 OBP at the top of the lineup instead of say a 340 guy isn't going to mean all that much. And it is both temporary and on a trial basis. I doubt that he's still batting there in 6-8 weeks and if he is, perhaps Pillar overachieved on us yet again
I'd get rid of Gibbons right now if it could be guaranteed that his replacement wouldn't start the season with Pillar as the leadoff hitter. He's been shown to be progressive in this area before, though (see Tulo hitting leadoff for the first time in his career last season solely because of his OBP or guys like Stairs, Wells and Lind hitting leadoff in his first run with the team), so hopefully he will see reason soon enough.
I think even Gibby led off with Bautista before as well? I know Gibby believes in moving everyone up in the order when someone gets injured (see now when Edwin is injured and Tulo bats cleanup). Nothing is worse than Cito's belief that everyone should stay in their spot in the order so he would put someone like Johnny Mac in the two hole if he replaced that guy in the order.
